I would like to star a discussion on AFL. Thety are relative new and little is known or published about their culture. I have a lots of questions y you have question on AFL place them here if you like so we can review when need to.
1) These are seedlings. Question: do you stake them now and start trimming them into a tree shape now or wait. Seems like a bushy three.?
2) For grafting is there a preferred root stock family to use? . I tried grafting on Sour Orange and did not work. (agree I don't know much about citrus. Period)
3) Is there a special grafting technique since we have very thin branches? Time of the year? Any video, pictures on grafting finger limes?
4) Does anyone out there has a color other than green in USA?
5) the AFL is described as an understory plant so I assume it can handle and do well in filtered light.? I have a couple of places with indirect sun I can plant them in. Any one has any experience on this?
6) Do they do well in alkaline soil or need adjusting?
7) I understand they need water but is there a dormant period where they can be dry or need to be dry?
Any good book or articles on AFL?
